A European project to design a wing for a next-generation regional aircraft is closing in on the production of a series of ...

Rather than slats, the new-concept wing has a leading edge that changes shape internally, “drooping” to a higher-lift airfoil configuration without the drag and noise of leading edge slats.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – A new photographic analysis of Columbia’s launch shows that foam debris falling off the external tank slammed into the orbiter’s vulnerable leading edge, rather than ...

Another theory on how debris impact at launch may have doomed the shuttle Columbia: corrosion on the leading edge of the left wing. IE 11 is not supported. For an optimal experience visit our site ...

These leading edge slats provide the lift necessary at low speeds, with the gap between the wing and the slats directing air from the underside of the wing to the top. Unfortunately, this gap also ...

The Leading Edge Flight Academy has completed a new helicopter hangar facility at the Bend Municipal Airport, making use of a new heliport with more than 20 spots.

Loss of thermal protection panels may have led to break-up, but cause is still unknown Aerodynamic analysis is leading investigators to suspect that loss or failure of thermal-protection panels on ...

Although the turbulators on Ping's G30 driver received much of the attention given to the G30 line of woods, it would be a mistake to look at that club and go no further. Take the company's G30 ...

In addition to generating lift by leading-edge vortices (as used by most insects), mosquitoes also employ trailing-edge vortices and a lift mechanism from wing rotation, which enables them to stay ...
